Marikana incident: It can create chaos to South African citizens

What a tremendous incident to Marikana peoples. How can our police force do such thing as they are supposed to protect us and not to kill us?

I’ve been following this issue for the past few days and nothing happened in arresting those who killed innocent people. Aren’t our government supposed to treat everybody equally and never let personal vendettas to interfere. 

It so sad and painful incident as many people have lost their lives fighting for their own freedom and expressing how they felt they have been robbed (earning R4000 per month compared to the wok they have to do on daily basis).According to Media 24, 34 of the protesters were killed, 78 people were injured, and 259 were arrested in Thursday’s violence.

Those innocent people that were killed had the opportunity to strike, using their labour rights and they never thought things could turn so badly. Our operational system need to take part and pressurize those who are investigating to uplift their investigational efforts as this could affect and create chaos amongst us (South Africans) if this could take time to gather evidence and people could get fuss if  they don’t get enough evidence about what caused the incident.

We need not to take justice with our own hands and wait for our Govenment to resolve this issue. Let's stand together as we were before the incident and never let such incident to ever happen again. Let's send our condolences to those who lost their loved ones as they are in need for our support.

Tokyo: “I love Zille”

What a tremendous statement made by our Human Settlement minister, Tokyo Sexwale.

After reading the article in media 24, I felt like our South African government needs to be together and continue supporting one another. Tokyo has showed us that being united is truly good indeed. Tokyo Sexwale is a great iconic legend as he doesn’t allow his personal vendetta to ruin what our legend had fought for.

According to media 24, Tokyo did not take the opportunity to attack the DA or Zille for failing to deliver on election promises.  Instead, he stressed the problem is a national project which can only succeed with co-operation between national, provincial and local government. In his statement, “he greatly value the partnership between the three spheres of government as this is necessary for service delivery,”

Our Political Parties need not to discriminate one another but help each other in terms of service delivery and what they promised the public. They need to work hand in hand with each other to uplift the spirit of South Africa and what they (our legend) had built.

If we South African can continue doing so, we will be united and our country will be reckoned and/or recognized for their good deeds.

“Zuma could be kicked out”

‘Jacob Zuma could be ousted, if he is re-elected at the ANC’s Conference’.

I been following this issue for the past few months and I’ve noticed that most of our representatives no longer care for one another. Zuma have caused chaos amongst ourselves and if this issue is not been resolve sooner, our country will experience more hatred and we will no longer be united. His re-election could even split the party. 

According to Gumede, Zuma only seems to have support in three provinces: KwaZulu- Natal, Mpumalanga, and the Free State, and his position is not as secure as he would have liked. “Zuma also have divided support in the trade union, and there might be strong enough support for his ousting a year or two after Mangaung.  I hope it’s time for us to part-take in this issue and vote for those who deserves to be elected and represent us.

Most of the people who were expelled seemed to be happy as they have hope that he (Zuma) will be kicked out during election time in December at Mangaung. Zuma have destroyed what our iconic leaders have built and this is not how we expected our country to be run. Let us continue to build what our true legends have started and embrace their contributions in building the future for tomorrow. Let’s look at this issue carefully because our future could be at stake.

LET’S SHOW UBUNTU AND NEVER DESTROY OUR COUNRTY

Textbook crisis a failer to students and the Govt

What a tremendous exposure to the pupils of Limpopo. How can such thing happen without anyone realising how this pupils have suffered for the past seven(7) months?

The textbook crisis will cost our pupils to fail as they won't have enough time to prepare themselves for the next coming exams. It seems that the Limpopo education department does not care much about their pupils and this will create bad image for our country. The education department have violated the student's right and it has caused a national furore after more than 5000 schools were left without textbook. 

According to Nadine Gordimer, "it is the (education) minister's responsibility to make sure that the textbook are ordered in time and delivered at the right time to schools".

If our Government could make sure that this thing never happen again, our passed rate could increase and the teachers will have more time to prepare lessons and the pupils will have more time to prepare for  exams.

Our Government should spend more time in monitoring our schools performance and  have more inspirational  people who will motivate and tell our learners that it is never to late to do best and achiave best results. Let us all part-take in helping the Government to change their mentality and build the future for tomorrow. Let's all embrace our nation and be united.
